It’s all about you. You might already have a clear idea of what needs to change, or you might just have a sense that things aren’t working quite right. Together, we’ll take a close look at your space and your lifestyle, and create a plan to get you where you want to be
Before we get to tackling piles of papers or emptying kitchen cupboards, we talk.
Arguably the most important stage of the process, talking about you, your family, your life and your home helps us to get towards the answers to the two most important questions:
From here, we can work together to work out systems that support your lifestyle; which of your things merit the valuable space within your home; and where we're going to start.
The first practical stage of most projects is decluttering—which isn't always as simple as it sounds. Life is busy, and it’s easy for things to pile up when there are so many demands on your time. Sometimes, it's hard to know where to begin or what to let go of, and the idea of sorting through a space can feel overwhelming. We all accumulate belongings for different reasons—whether it's sentimental value, the "just in case" mindset, or the simple fact that we’ve never had a chance to stop and sort. It’s completely normal to feel stuck or unsure.
I will work with you to find and sort your possessions, and support you to make the decisions you want to make, so that we're moving on to phase two with only the items you want to have around you. I can also help with donating, selling and removing items that you are letting go.
Once you have decluttered, the next stage is to organise your space so that it works for you. I take a holistic approach—for example, even if we are just working on one room, I'll ask questions to find out how your house works for you as a whole, so we make sure everything has its place. I can work with you to re-think your space, find storage solutions and even add a bit of style so you have a space that you love to be in.
Decluttering and organising is an ongoing process. As time goes on, our lives and needs change, and our spaces need to keep up. I can work with you to think about how your house might adapt to your changing needs, and keep on top of the clutter.
You may also want to tackle some of the clutter yourself, but have my support to keep you motivated. I can offer a check-in service, in person or online, to support you to keep going.
